Thank you for helping us chronic fatigue folks feel accepted and seen ❤️

Loved the whole book Miranda, thank you for helping me look for treasures and giving me hope that my next 12 years won't be like my last (exhausted, bed bound and feeling ignored by the medics, like so many of the CFS/ME/Fibromyalgia community.) So happy that you wrote this, please, please make a workbook!

A very comforting listen for anyone with chronic illness

Dearest Miranda, I’m so so glad you’re using your platform to share what you learned. I have come across a few treasures that resonated with yours and it helped solidify what I’ve already learnt and has comforted me during a set back. It fills me with gladness to think your book may reach and help others who are suffering with these horribly misunderstood and very difficult to live with conditions.

To the reader, If you’re expecting a jolly romp from this book, that’s not it’s purpose but if you or someone you know has ME/long COVID/Lyme or any similar conditions this may well be a god send. But it does also have nuggets of value for anyone living in our crazy, stressy world

a moving and entertaining listen

I really enjoyed this book. As someone living with chronic illness, it resonated. The style might not be everybody's cup of tea, but I found there to be a good balance of wise lived experience, but sprinkled with just enough humour.

Everything I love about Miranda and more!

Wow, It’s as if I’ve been taken on a journey, through life’s magical mystery tour. Learning so many valuable lessons along the way. As a person living with long term pain
It’s so interesting to hear Miranda share her knowledge about the many things she’s found to help her, at times live along side her condition. She talks of being in and around nature. Stopping to enjoy the simple things which are some of the most beautiful things. Nature and animals in particular dogs.
I get every word as I also choose to see beauty and joy in the smallest of things. I can see a park from my bed and a long row of trees which sway in the wind.
And to watch the rain on my window. Even thunder!
This beautifully written book is almost like music to my ears! With the extra bonus, hearing it read by the infectious and witty Maranda sharing such honesty and vulnerability is commendable. I am delighted you have found love or rather it found you. I myself feel blessed every day to have a husband who adores me, as do my family. It’s the main reason I still have hope and faith in finding treatment. I also believe in a positive attitude ( most of the time ) with plenty of smiling and singing and lastly hugs. Maybe Miranda could write a book about hugging and smiling, just putting it out there!
I highly recommend this book I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did ❤️. Alison

A book enthusing freedom within the confines of chronic illness

I found this book to be honest, raw and encouraging. I too am a Christian who lives with Chronic fatigue and have experienced so much of her story and subsequent thoughts.

I found Miranda’s deep dive into the psychology of suffering, with her honest reflections to be insightful and frankly refreshingly novel. So many self help books highlight the need for a change of mindset and that’s all well and good, but how to get there is another thing entirely. Miranda teaches freedom and finding your true self, but also acknowledges the fragility of life and how she has fallen and easily relapsed into old ways of thinking.

I will be re-listening immediately to this book and will then take some notes on the key teachings and practical tools she’s found helpful. For example the ‘why’ questioning concept is a game changer!

If you’re struggling to move past your past mindset or know someone who is, then this book will deliver. It’s honest and exposing, which is very brave for someone in the public eye, but nothing is wasted because she has found freedom and with her encouragement-so can we.

Also-she’s found love and I couldn’t be more happy for her. She’s the friend we all wish to have and her ‘Bristol boy’ is a very fortunate man.

The honesty and insight into how your body works

Nothing. I found the book wonderfully insightful. It has made me look inwardly and seek to change behaviour.
